About a year or so ago I saw a recipe on here for lemon cheese cake. I t was very simple but I'm not sure I remember it correctly. Here's the way I remember it.
1-8oz. pkg softened cream cheese
1 tub of lemon Crystal Light
Cool Whip ( I don't remember how much)
Blend it all together & pour into a graham cracker crust
Top with more cool whip & refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Do I have it right? My granddaughter keeps asking me to make it again.

Hi--I use the large tub of whipped cream cheese, one large container of the greek yogurt (to bump up the protein) , and one container of sugar free cool whip.  Mix together with the crystal light and pour into a graham cracker crust.  This recipe was posted about 2 or 3 weeks ago again.  It is great--I take it to potlucks and picnics.

Thank you. I'm not a yogurt person, so is greek yogurt flavored at all?I know the other recipe didn't call for it.

It is a little tangy but mostly vanilla or not really any flavor--the Crystal Light completely masks any taste.  My hubby doesn't like yogurt either and he has not even noticed it the mix.  Yesterday I made this recipe with the strawberry crystal light and strawberry yogurt.  It was a big hit--my son and his wife came over and the dessert was all gone even though I thought it should make at least 8 large servings, 16 for me LOL.  Congrats on your weight loss--I am 10 1/2 moths out and at 76 pounds--stuck for the last couple of months.  Things have been so busy here (we are setting up an 0nline shop, helping a friend whose significant other had a stroke and caring for our daughter who had swine flu) so I have stopped doing any exercise in this 106 degree heat.  Oh well, things should settle down.  Have fun with the recipe.

Have you tried this one:

2 RF Graham Cracker Crusts
16 oz of FF or SF Cool Whip
1 FF SF Vanilla Pudding
1 1/2 C FF Milk
1 or 2 Tubs of SF Lemonade Mix  (I thought 2 tubs was too tart but the other people I made it for loved it.  So it is a matter of preference.)

Mix the pudding and milk together.  Add Lemonade Mix.  Fold in Cool Whip.  Divide between 2 crusts and refrigerate for 1 hour. 


Next time I make this I am going to use Rasp Lemonade.

What exactly is a tub of Crystal Light Lemonade?  We can only get Crystal Light in Crystals up here.

Here you can get Crystal Light in a round upright package that looks a lot like a plastic tube with a lid--each tub inside makes 2 quarts of drink.  I just use 3 of the little log foil packs that makes enough for one water bottle for one quart or one tub.
